Helpful hint for anyone (like me) who's new to Composer: 2:00 shows the "$composer dump-autoload" command. It's really quick here but it's a crucial step. From my understanding it's basically telling Composer, "Hey I just added a new class. You need to scan the project to find the new unit files and refresh your class list." I had too many "unit not found" failures, no fun. Also, a *security warning*: never run Composer with sudo (for Windows users, don't run as administrator). As popular as Composer is, it's still an outside library and may contain malware. For some people that's a no brainer, but everyone's gotta start somewhere.

For those who can't seem to get the configuration working: IT NEEDS TO BE IN THE SAME FOLDER AS THE PHPUNIT EXECUTABLE!!! otherwise it will just ignore it and list config options. You also need to slightly change the test folder path:
Man... this video was a nightmare lol. Getting over all the "composer" and "autoloading" and "configuration.xml" sure did take some toll on my mental health smh. Many things didn't work like in the video and I had to google all sorts of weird errors.

"For those arriving here after updating phpunit to version 6 released on 2017-02-03 (e.g. with composer), you may be getting this error because phpunit code is now namespaced (check changelog). You will need to refactor things like \PHPUnit_Framework_TestCase to \PHPUnit\Framework\TestCase"

hello..even after creating phpunit.xml, when i run the phpunit command i still get all the configurations listed and the one at @5:06

one important thing is that test script must be names you can put any name to replace but must have Test.php

No explanation for setting up without composer this time? :(

[spicytuna]

since i didn't use composer to install, specifying autoload key and value shouldn't matter.

./vendor/bin/phpunit can't be inputted, not recognized...what can I do to fix this? I'm stuck at this part

[almosawi]
